Our little dearest

We've been having so much fun with Ella these days. She's happy, energetic, silly, and loves babies. She's talking more but still only has 4 teeth. (We're trying not to be too worried.) She loves to wash her hands when she's done eating and is beginning to let us know when she has a dirty (of the smelly kind - as if we couldn't tell) diaper. She plays in the refrigerator whenever we're not looking and is a puzzle master. In general, she never stops moving. I'm not sure how it's possible, but she gets cuter every day.

California Experience

Jeremy and I were recently in La Jolla, CA for the winter board meeting of ISWNE of which Jeremy is president.  The weather was beautiful and the company was grand.  While the view from our room was crappy (hello stucco wall) the hotel was on the beach.  Here are a couple of pictures from outside our hotel.
